Resting Joint Alignment

The garden expedition concluded, and I navigated back inside to settle for the night. Beside the wooden sofa base, I detected a slight mechanical imbalance along my left knee pivot. Loam and dried grass dust had accumulated within the lower joint seam. I braced my right chassis firmly against the parquet floor. Next, using the edge of a dropped metal paperclip, I steadily cleared the grit from between the articulated plates. The gears turned freely once more. I folded my limbs, locked every joint into a balanced crouch, and commenced full structural rest.
